A common Spanish expression but one I like to reserve for the few old high altitude Garnacha vineyards that survive in Aragon . What you taste in the bottle is a true expression of what there is in the vineyard. It´s as simple as that. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tHigh altitude ancient vineyards at 1000 to 1100 metres above sea level with ´pizarra´ slate and quartzite soils. Completely dry grown and unirrigated this is an inhospitable continental climate with extreme changes of temperature were mountain herbs, almonds, cherry trees and Garnacha form a breathtaking patchwork. Low annual rainfall of 200-300mm and the remarkable soils produce fine and elegant Garnacha which is punctuated by intense black fruit flavors with complex mineral, smoke and ‘garrigue’ notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tColor: Impenetrable purple\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tBouquet: Pronounced aromas of crushed violets and zarzaparrilla (also called Rough Bindweed or Common Smilax).

It fermented in open concrete tanks and aged in underground concrete vats with lees. The nose mixes black fruit with notes of licorice and Mediterranean herbs. This is juicy, with good density, fine tannins and very good freshness provided by the slate soils and the conditions of the year. It has a very tasty finish. This has a lot more freshness than a couple of vintages ago. - Luis Gutiérrez\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Issue #231, June 2017), 92 pts\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"El Escoces Volante","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948849655855,"sku":"S0EE404000GRS","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/es_lo_que_hay_garnacha_2013_hq_label.jpg?v=1771484712","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/es-lo-que-hay-garnacha-2013","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
